Atriuum can allow a search to be limited to a particular library or libraries, or can be extended system wide.A unique feature of Atriuum is the ability to perform Atriuum ComPeer™ searches where other Atriuum-based libraries can be connected for search even if they are not part of a district’s network. The single server structure reduces technology maintenance needs, and remote management by Book Systems is an available option. All management and searching functions can be accessed using any Web browser. Patrons can choose either text or visual searching in the OPAC.

I'm assuming, based on the above information, that you wanted our talking points ideas posted here, so here they be:
1. Atriuum is a web-based integrated system that is accessible from any supported web browser.
2. Include SURFit, which enables an LMS to find resources in the library as well as the web, streamlining access.
3. Includes KidZviZ which is specially deisgned for young searchers (i.e., PK - 3).
4. Offers a collection of supplemental programs that enhance the library experience and management such as seriels, acquisitions, accelerated reader, and eZcat.
5. An optional ASP that ensures worry-free management and is especially beneficial to those without onsite IT personnel.
6. Provides affordable library software for any size library and is designed to fit the needs of librarians in an easy-to-learn and user-friendly format.
7. Reliable customer service and tech support.
· Atrium is used by over 219 libraries all over the world.
